[/quote]There is no way in H E double L I'm going to ever trust a delivery driver that potentially is upset over tips for the night. [/quote]

[/quote]So do you not dine out either? Why is this special to delivery?[/quote]

We do dine out perhaps a couple/few times a month.  It's not a secret some of the precautions we take.

We dine at places that have a consistent amount of high business.  Successful restaurants sell the food before spoilage and less time collecting contaminants, such as mop bucket splashes, improper handling, night time mice/roach rummaging, employee grazing etc.

Busy restaurants keep employee's too busy usually to do a lot of obscene shenanigans as well as other employees within eye shot.  However, it almost never prevents the typical picking up dropped food from the floor that is just way too common in the industry.  If the kitchen staff is visible to the patrons then even better.  It still doesn't completely eliminate the disgusting behavior.  Many times I see cooks/chefs snatch a small amount off a completed plate to stick in their mouths or drink a soda and go back to preparing.  Which is a major food safety violation.

Delivery drivers usually have zero restaurant experience nor care about the product.  Based on my decades of experience in the industry, I am certain delivery drivers graze on the food at best, and contaminate at worst simply because a percentage of them are petty people that think they deserve better in life.  Sad but true.  It's especially true in this entitlement culture now.

I haven't shared anything new to most people about these practices.  But you do you, because I've also learned that it won't stop people from food deliveries because they want to think the best of people and if they didn't see it, then it didn't happen.  The silver lining is that perhaps your bodies will become immunity stronger.

I can tell you this, not many people want to work in restaurants.  Owners/managers are to a large percentage of times only given the option to hire the most unsanitary person in the kitchen just to get the food out.  I can't even begin to tell you how often I've taken my wife/family upon entering and just left.  [/quote]
